What is Anti-Virus?

Antivirus software is designed to detect, prevent, and remove malicious software (malware) from computer systems. It works by scanning files and directories for known viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, and other types of threats. Modern antivirus solutions often employ behavioral analysis, heuristic scanning, and machine learning to identify and block previously unknown malware. They are commonly used by individuals, businesses, and organizations to protect their devices and networks from cyber threats.
